Planning a Christmas party in Lower Green
Lower Green is about 7 miles west of Newbury, in West Berkshire. We cater Christmas parties of every size in Lower Green. Lower Green is one of 155 towns and villages in West Berkshire we cover. Our nearest city page is Reading, about 23 miles away.
Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as Church of St Michael draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards. If you’re organising a Christmas fair for a school like Inkpen Primary School, hot rolls go down well.
For Christmas parties in RG17, we just need to know where the roaster can cook. Streets in the area include Craven Road, Weavers Lane and Bitham Lane, and a Christmas party on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. Close by, we cover Christmas parties in Inkpen (1 mile east), Upper Green (1 mile south-east), Inkpen Common (1 mile east), Hell Corner (2 miles east) and Kintbury (2 miles north-east). We also serve nearby towns such as Newbury (7 miles east), Thatcham (10 miles east), Speenhamland (7 miles east), Hungerford (3 miles north-west), Lambourn (9 miles north) and Shaw (8 miles east).
Other landmarks nearby include Hamstead Marshall 3 (4.2 miles east). Within reach you’ll find Kintbury Newt Ponds and Inkpen Hill.
- Schools near Lower Green include John O'Gaunt School (2 miles north-west)
- Local pubs include The Old Craven Arms (less than half a mile north-west)
Planning the cooking spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark
- Indoor space for eating
- A safe distance from anything that could catch the heat
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
Popular choices
- Roast potatoes
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Hog roast rolls
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Roast turkey
- Rotisserie chicken
- Vegan option (Ve)

Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Request gluten-free rolls
The cooking area and the path to it need lighting after dark.
Add roast potatoes for a festive plate.
For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook. In December, it’s dark in Lower Green by about 4:00pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Ask early for a December date.
- You get a quote with the menu.
- We arrive while it is light and set up under cover.
- We serve pork, turkey and sides.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Before we arrive
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Distance from us
- Time on site
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Plates or china
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Details that help
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Your date and serving time
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- A picture of the cooking area
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Send us your details through our quote form.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a restaurant Christmas party, a hog roast at your venue keeps everyone together and is often better value. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What you get with us
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Carved to order by a chef
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
